The Effects of Required and Optional Computer-Based Note Taking on Achievement and Instructional Completion Time.

Armel, Donald; Shrock, Sharon A.

Journal of Educational Computing Research, v14 n4 p329-44 1996

Investigated the effects and efficiency of mandatory and optional note taking by undergraduate students (n=81) during computer-based instruction. The required note takers entered notes on every screen of the HyperCard lesson; this group scored significantly higher on the post-test and took significantly longer to complete the instruction than did the optional or control groups.
